Just wanted to share my excitement about how fast my Do Si Dos auto are sprouting! As a newbie, it’s amazing to see progress so quickly. Anyone else experiencing the same kind of luck with their first grow?

Auto are really awesome for me cause I double harvest, so ill have smoke while my photo periods are just flowering. They way smaller but they save me a lot of money I don’t have. When you grow a big boy plant outside you’ll be freaking out 3 months in when its 6 ft tall

Welcome aboard. OG is a great place to share and learn. Your off to a great start obviously. Automatics are a good way to start. Good luck.

Nice start! They look great. You really can’t discount what good genetics adds to any grow.

The male was brought back from Jamaica, only seed that germinated. The autos; forbidden fruit was a bag seed auto, and Bruce banner was herbies seeds, (I won’t order again from them) that Bruce was kinda weird. Had alot of punch but immediately after wears off quickly.

I just finished 8 autos of various strains. It was my first run with autos. I made a lot of mistakes but they finished.
One thing about autos. They are not very forgiving. They have a short life span and correcting issues is difficult.
Best advice for autos is feed them as if your trying to starve a photo plants. Autos are half ditch weed and don’t need a lot to survive.
I currently have a mystery auto which popped up in my photo grow. She’s been getting 1/4tsp Jacks Bloom along with a little calcium nitrate and Epsom salt as needed. Since she just showed up unannounced she’s flowering with the photos in 12/12.

Bad luck. What did you do to that Bruce to make it do that? Plants are normally don’t do that unless something strikes them like, water, light, nutrients, other stuff
I topped it early, and I think forbidden fruit was stealing all the food. That plant was ferocious.
I like Bruce Banner for my outdoor grow, especially in this hot climate. Reach out herbies customer service. They’ve always come through for me

Your tip about feeding them lightly is solid advice. And that mystery auto crashing the photo party? Was it in the same seeds pack?

Really no big deal, only ordered 1 seed as emergency. I just expected more since it was the first seed I ever ordered, although paid like 40$ total and for fast shipping ect.
Welcome to OG my friend @GanjaGladiator
All the time - i get that feeling when theyve reached maturity in veg, they look amazing - and then again when theyre mid flower.

Wow, that’s awesome! It’s always such a thrill to see those little seedlings pop up. Makes you feel like you’re actually doing something right, doesn’t it?
Ok real thing just happened. I was looking at a plant that was recently up potted; and thought to myself damn babe I wanna slather you up with some horticulture oil.
